8971C Noise Figure Test Set, 10 MHz to 26.5 GHz

Please help us customize your browsing experience, by selecting one the below.

Description

This test set allows the 8970B to make noise figure measurements over an extended frequency range. Careful design and high performance components, including a stable YIG filter, allow broadband single-sideband measurements with a single calibration and sweep. A low noise preamplifier built into the noise figure test set lowers the second-stage noise figure, thereby reducing a major source of measurement uncertainty. Measurement modes in the 8970B allow for double down conversion using the this unit as the second downconverter.

Key Points

Simultaneous gain and noise figure measurements for amplifier characterization

Easy to compensate for tuner insertion loss for transistor characterization

Only for use with the 8970B (cannot be used with the NFA series)
